About This Record

Families Tell This Differently

Families who carry this name tell parts of it differently. Each way it has been told is below.

Mhlongo and Ngcobo — the finger line

A commenter states that Wen' owalala nomunw' endunu is not a Mhlongo praise at all but belongs to Ngcobo. The line appears in the Ngcobo sequence recorded above. Whether it also legitimately belongs to Mhlongo is disputed by the community itself
